SD to M.2 for Nand-AID

[MCeGEAR]

I've been looking to increase my internal WII U storage, but I don't want to go with an SD card as I only want to have to do this once without having to worry about the SD dying (Endurance cards don't go above 1Tb and I also don't trust them either)

I've found a converter to go from M.2 to SD, the ADP-USD-M2-00C. Has anyone messed around with something like this before or am I very off in this idea? Don't want to go through the process to end up at a dead end not knowing exactly if it was my mistake or an issue with the adapter.

If this works then this seems like a good long term solution for any system using SD beyond the WII U. I don't want a USB harddrive out of want of the console to look like a stock store display, I use SDUSB right now but want to make it so that SD is just WII/GC and the internal is all WII U.

ADP-USD-M2-00C

This seems to be a passive adapter which just connects the SDIO signals of the E-Keys M.2 slot to the sd slot.
Your SSD is usually M-Key (PCIe) or M+B-Key (SATA) and therefore won't even fit into tat M.2 slot. Also physically there isn't enough space in the Wii U to fit this adapter into the NAND-AID SD slot.
If you want SATA, then you have to use somethung like uSATA https://github.com/ashquarky/usata but you will lose the Disc Drive by doing that.

Thank you very much for the quick response and your time, after reading that I used it to do more research. I didn't realize that SDIO was used for more than memory access/control, so I just thought M.2 SSD and not radios. I'm surprised with there being so many SBCs using SD to boot over the last 10/15 years that there isn't an active controller board to do at least sata to SDIO out there. A translation between them wouldn't be easy at all but should be fully doable, not that I can say much since I wouldn't be the one to do it.

I was hoping to just get a ribbon SD extension cable and use that to locate the converter on or near the disk drive with some trimming, hoping the extension wouldn't cause signal issues.
I seen that replacing the disk drive with a sata ssd was possible but I want to keep the disk drive for ctgp and keeping the stock look/functionality.
